This would create 100x100 graph. I wanted to use a canvas to do this so i could draw on it using its handy openGL functions. I wanted to then pass that canvas back to a view's onDraw method, and have that view draw the image that i created.

Some ideas i tried:I had my class extend canvas, but couldn't figure out how to draw an existing canvas, only the canvas that was passed to the onDraw method.I tried having my class have a Bitmap member object, made a canvas to draw to that bitmap, then made a function to return that bitmap and draw it to the canvas that was passed in to my activity's onDraw method. This may not have worked because i'm not familiar with how java does passing by reference or by copy.

So, what I'm asking for is a knowledgable opinion on how I should accomplish this. Sample code of the important part of the class (how i get what i need to draw back to my activity's onDraw) and how i would use it in the onDraw method.
